Step 1

In a medium saucepan, heat the honey and peanut butter over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring until smooth and well combined. Turn off the heat.

Step 2

Add the vanilla, if using, then the oats and cereal. Stir well until everything is coated.

Step 3

Mix in the mini chocolate chips, if using.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a greased 8x8 pan and press down into an even layer. (The mixture will be sticky so it helps to slightly wet your hands before you press it down.)

Step 5

Let cool then cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to set up, about 1 hour.

Step 6

Cut into squares or rectangles and enjoy! Store extras, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
